Good luck with it! I think I have many videos about that specific machine but other williams games have a similar design mechanically if you run into any problems.
The work you do is fantastic. I doubt I will ever ever be in the position of restoring a pinball machine like this, but the tricks and ingenuity you display are ones I have found use for in my projects.
Great work. You got rid of all the filth. C'mon people! You can't treat pinball classics this way! It ain't right to let them collect all the dust and filth.
Playfield looks great! You can't tell that it ever had any significant wear. This is EXACTLY how that playfield should look... Excellent condition, but still with some age and minor wear. It's not realistic to expect a nearly 50 year old game to be perfect. I know if I was the customer I would be VERY happy with how the playfield turned out. Excellent work as always Ron!
there's a big ol' club right in the middle of the play field. Ron, you and Joey did a great job cleaning and restoring this play field. WOW! Great color match on the paint. Back in my day we used Goop brand to clean the field before using a pinball wax to wax it. I loved cleaning the pins at the arcades I worked at. It was truly a labor of love.
Always great to watch the playfield come back to life. Nice work on the painting Ronnie. No one would ever know you were there, which is the goal of repainting playfields. …All that work, …just so nobody notices. Pinball is a strange affair sometimes. Fantastic work from Joe and yourself.
Did a nice job on that playfield Ron And Joe ! I know around the pop bumpers was a lot of work , but it was worth it ! Looks great ! Can’t wait to see her back up and running again !
Nice work, what a cool game. I love seeing these old EM's get a second life. Steve Young does have those pop caps (part# 3B-7350), or at least he did when I ordered a set about a year ago. They aren't on his website though.
It looks like they used both, on their games for about 2 years and it's kind of hit or miss which ones each game ended up with. They'd run out of one type and put the other type on, on each game, so all of them use two types potentially.
That's very impressive. Royal flush unsuited. For the record. I've actually played this in the 90's in an arcade, that believed in 0 maintenance. And it looks great, but needs good flippers!.
Hi Ron, great job on the paint work. I don't remember the first brush you used for the green/blue paint, maybe Santa left it for you. The previous Pat hand pinball where you added that black around the bumpers. Do you call it a Ron original and did you sign your work? I been thinking this for a while now. Joe really loves the youtube music. He moves so fast whenever its playing. I started calling him Sonic Joe, very impressive maybe because he is younger than us.
Hi. Really cool videos you've been putting out. Maybe you can answer some questions I have. My folks have a 1980 stern galaxy pinball machine in their basement that they bought about 40 yrs ago. I used to play it when I was a kid all the time until it wouldn't boot up when you turned it on and it has sat in the basement since. I have done a little research on these machines and after removing the backglass and opening the backbox I found a good amount of alkaline leakage at the bottom of the mpu board and have ordered a replacement board for it and started cleaning it up a bit. The power cord plug is all corroded and I was wondering what you would use to clean it? Also what type of metal cleaner would you suggest to clean the lock bar, coin door and other metal parts with? I started to remove the playfield glass and as it was sliding out it was giving me good amount of resistance and I hear a good amount of scraping as I'm sliding it. I didn't take it out due to this and decided to wait a little first. Should I be putting some kind of silicone spray or lubricant in the tracks to help it slide out more? Sorry for all the questions at once but I have no experience working on these machines but have always wanted to get this machine up and running again. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
Great job Ronnie, The playfield looks great, the touch up paint job looks very good. How long did you have to wake before you painted over it? See you on the next video. Thanks for filming.
Regarding the art style: the mid/late 1970's saw a revival of art nouveau, the style of the turn of the century that had become hot again. While art nouveau is more of an umbrella term for various national flavors and movements, graphics were generally influenced by Japanese art, particularly woodblock prints. The Pat Hand table is more in the British style, and it does a good job in transposing this into the 1970s. You may look up Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh (this does look a bit Scottish, doesn't it?) and Aubrey Beardsley.
Hi Ron! I've said before, and will say again; You have a keen eye, and a steady hand... I am truly envious of your talent! As is usually the case, I have a couple of questions, none of which is intended to call into question the quality of yours or Joe's work, just looking to better understand the process... - When cleaning a playfield where the glass has been missing for an extended period of time, would there have been any advantage (or disadvantage, for that matter) to giving the playfield a once over with a shop-vac, with a brush attachment to remove the loose debris before making use of the windex? Or did this perhaps happen off camera, and I have no idea what I'm talking about? (always a possibility...) - Can you recommend a resource where I might be able to learn more about how pinball back glasses were originally made? It occurred to me that the processes used to make the original back glasses may have used silkscreened ink, rather than paint, to achieve the required translucency (which may also go toward explaining why some colors appear to fade, or flake away faster than others). A better understanding of the original process may lead to exploring different methods for touching up an original back glass (just a thought...) - Okay, this is a long shot; I've been giving some thought to the problematic plastic score motor cams in Chicago Coin machines... It may be possible to replicate these parts, but I'd need a starting point... Would you perhaps have an old, otherwise unrepairable Chicago Coin score motor cam you'd be willing to part with?
Classic backglasses were silkscreened with screen printing ink, either on glass or plastic. The playfield and lightshield plastics were also silkscreened. Translites have also been used in place of silk screening on glass. Digital printing is being used more because of the cost of the silk screening process. The net has info on how silkscreening on glass is done. If you had an original (even if broken) ChiCoin score motor cam disc you could duplicate it in polycarbonate or metal, using the original as a template. It could also be made in a 3D printer if the plastic was hard enough to resist wear from the switch dogs. ChiCoin parts are getting harder to find as time goes on. Good luck.
@@rizzlerazzleuno4733 Thank you. i appreciate your insight into the manufacture of back glasses. I wasn't sure where to begin my research (phrasing when conducting a google search does have some significance, after all...). My thought is that if the inks used in the process back in the day are still available, touch-ups on original back glasses might be more feasible... As to the ChiCoin score motor cams, based on the diagrams I've been able to find, all the cams appear to be the same diameter, the 'valleys' appear to be a uniform depth, and a total of only five or so patterns were used across the entirety of the pinball line (which all makes sense from a manufacturing standpoint... I'm still unsure about the 'Pitch and Bat' machines, but they appear to use a single cam design...) My feeling is, if a 'generic template' were created (that is to say, a file that reimagines the cam as a blank circle, with the proper thicknesses, and center hole pattern, and an inner indicator circle that shows the maximum 'valley depth'), one could, in theory, use this as a starting point to recreate, and/or refine the cam pattern(s) as needed. This could also be used as an opportunity to reimagine the design, adding extra support to the center stress point, for example. Refinements/enhancements to 3D printing are happening at a tremendous rate (I seem to recall Ron and/or Joe making use of a company that recreates (among other things) parts for either a steering or yoke mechanism that was no longer manufactured (I can't immediately recall which)). If the plastics/resin are not strong enough now, I have little doubt they soon will be... Regardless, the first step must still be taken, which will be creating a template to work from...
Quick question... is it new wave toys that make those mini coke machines that you had on your vids a while back? Reason I'm asking is, new wave own Replicade and they have just announced a 1/6th scale Black Hole pin. You might be getting a nice surprise in the post from them.... Awesome vids as usual!!

Love my pat hand. I'm going to use ALL your techniques on repairing and beautifying my machine.
Good luck with it! I think I have many videos about that specific machine but other williams games have a similar design mechanically if you run into any problems.
Your background music cracks me up. I guess folks have been complaining again?

Great work. You got rid of all the filth. C'mon people! You can't treat pinball classics this way! It ain't right to let them collect all the dust and filth.
it looks so much better all cleaned up and painted
Ron must have played a lot of ‘Operation’ as a kid….”It takes a very steady hand…”. Nice job guys!

Wow - that looks awesome!!! You boys really do a beautiful job on your restorations - an absolute credit to you!!
What a difference between the way it looked and now.
This is one of your best restos so far!
Cheers for the video. Unusual placement of the pop bumpers, nice to see them in a different position.

The painting looks a lot better than the black rings on the last one. Nice work.

DAAAAAAAANG! Now, that is a before and after!
Excellent work again. Thanks for the videos.
Wow that playing field cleaned up great you guys… sick😎👍
Nice job on the painting Ronnie!! Looks great with everything back on!!
Wow! Nice job on those pops, and all the rest!
Vintage dust... sell it by the line/bump.
And yeah, it looks much better.
Aw, I thought you were going to take it through Mr. Bubble with the extra hot wax application. But this was almost as much fun. 😊👍
That play field turned out Really good
The paint turned out great. Nice job. I am looking forward to the next video.
Looks the balls as usual! Thanks guys. Keep em rolling
Lovin this one guys thank you x
How did I know he was gonna break out the razzleberry 😂 looks awesome as always brother!
WOW "FANTASTIC"😘
Interesting that the previous Pat Hand you had used different, also unusual looking but still green, pop bumpers to the ones on your current game.
It looks like they used both, on their games for about 2 years and it's kind of hit or miss which ones each game ended up with. They'd run out of one type and put the other type on, on each game, so all of them use two types potentially.

I did enjoy it. Thank you.
Ron, you did a amazing job on that playfield! And my favorite tune timestamp 35:00 :) Going now to watch Donnie work on Gene's trailer.
Great job guys. It’s beautiful.
15 rollover buttons might be a record.
Yer the Bob Ross of the touch ups Ron 😆 You should try and find an afro wig for your next one lol
Make the suggestion to Joe. Sounds like a happy accident in the making.
I don't need the wig!
He already has a full head of hair 😄
It don't matter who's in Austin..Bob Ross is still the king 👑
@@gorillaaua raspberry toupee?..the kind you find in a second hand store? 💇

The touch up just disappears. Great job.
A jesters costume Ron
It's a straight - Ace high, to be specific
Also...
...work on your pathetic trolling attempts...gky...XD
Back in the day they used lead as red pigments, it is subject to fading in the light.
Not a royal flush - just a straight. Royal flush would be all the same suit…
Hey Joe, what's wrong with this machine?
Yodelayheehoo
One of these days you are going to stop goofing around and showing off and do one of these right handed 😂😂😂😂
I't royal Straight... the second best hand in the game, odds of losing with a royal straight in astronomical depending on how many decks are in play.
Obviously, Ronnie has never played cards. The guy in the center is a jester (the joker). :)
The figure in the middle is problably the joker..
Wax on. Wax off.
Great job! Massive improvement.
